In the movie, DeJonge starts out fresh-faced as a young woman living in Germany. At this point in Priscilla's life, she was into fashion and beauty but still followed the trends instead of creating them. However, she quickly came into her own. By the time she married Elvis in 1967, she's solidified her status as a fashionista. "She wore a lot of makeup — three sets of lashes on the top, lashes on the bottom, really bold eyeliner," Thomas says.
DeJonge spent around one and a half to two hours in makeup every day, and the hardest part was always nailing the eyebrows. "They did change a lot through the period," Thomas says.
In the '70s, Priscilla changed up her look even more. "They were spending a lot of time in Hawaii, so they were a little more suntanned," Thomas says. He used the Dior Backstage Face & Body Powder-No-Powder ($40) to give DeJonge's skin this tan.
DeJonge's manicure also evolved with the times, as it would have in real life. In the '50s, the nails were short, round, and natural; in the '60s, they were longer and pointed and featured more subtle color; in the '70s, they were short again with rounded edges and often painted in pastel hues.
